$1K reward available for info about Downtown shooter

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - Gunshots rang out in Downtown Memphis overnight near the riverfront at Wagner Street and Beale Street.

Memphis police officers said they initially didn't get any calls overnight of the shooting that was caught on Facebook Live around 1 a.m. On Sunday afternoon, officers returned to the scene to investigate.

The person who recorded the shooting on Facebook Live has since removed the video.

This is the second shooting for the area in less than two weeks. Nobody was injured in this shooting.

Incidents like these have residents in the area angry.

"We've been fed up for a long time," resident Pat Taylor said.

One video shows a man hanging out of the window of a car shooting indiscriminately.

MPD said the man used a handgun to fire several shots into a crowded parking lot.

Taylor and other condo residents said the issues with people congregating in the lot are frequent and happen every weekend.

"We have problems on Friday and Saturday nights and you can pretty much clock them," Taylor said.

MPD initially said they didn't get any calls about the shots fired, but police have now said two cars responded to a call from the building security guard at 12:47 a.m.

At 12:53 a.m. officers came again for a shots fired call, but didn't find any victims or suspects. Police later found 11 spent shell casings in the road between Wagner and Riverside Drive on Beale Street. Officers noticed a trail of what appeared to be blood in the area as well.

Taylor said the violence can't continue and he and other neighbors fear for their lives inside their own homes.

"What's it going to take before someone takes some action to stop this problem?" he said.
